The Top Ten Recipes of 2010 from Kalyn's Kitchen (plus Ten Honorable Mentions)

I never post recipes unless I really like how the dish turned out, so asking me to pick my best recipes of the year is like asking a mother to pick her favorite child. Still, I love the top ten lists that pop up on blogs during the holidays, and I did manage to choose my favorite recipes in 2007, 2008, and 2009. Last year I had such a hard time narrowing it down that I ended up with ten honorable mentions, and I did that again this year when I found it even more difficult to decide what made the cut. (This is what my mother used to jokingly call "A Good Problem to Have.") I started with more than forty "best" recipes and narrowed it down to this list of twenty; all of these dishes are things that made me drool during 2010.

When I was thinking about what to make with leftover turkey, I came across an idea that I adapted into this Coconut-Lime Turkey (or Chicken) and Rice Soup, and it I loved this for a change from the usual after-Thanksgiving turkey soup ideas.

Grilled Zucchini Pizza Slices were a huge hit on the blog when I posted the recipe, and if you're looking for a way to enjoy the flavor of pizza in a version that's gluten-free and also phase one, this recipe is perfect.

Hi,I am Reva and new to blogging...this is my first time here and I am stunned...I just can't stop browsing through your recipes, they are simply wonderful....From now on U have a loyal follower....I am so happy to follow u.Reva.www.kaarasaaram.com

I've already tried a few of these (when you first posted them), but thanks for the reminder that there are several more on the list that I intend to make. It's really difficult to narrow down from all of the great recipes you share with us throughout the year.

I have never really attempted cooking at all until my friend sent me this blog (since it's so veg-friendly and way healthier than I normally eat). I've made 4 out of your top 10 numerous times now (especially love the stuffed green pepper!). So thanks for saving me from $1 pizza slices or carrots and dip for dinner every night!!

Thanks everyone for the very kind feedback about the recipes and my blog. I'm posting most of these comments from the iPhone while I'm out and about, so it's hard to reply from the phone, but I am enjoying reading them very much.

Kalyn: Thank you so much for this! I'm 26 and have been cooking for roughly half a year. I've been going through a couple of cook-books and love it, but have been trying to find something different. I find looking on those cooking sites to be very stressful to find the type of food I like.

These recipes seem just fantastic and I can't wait to try them. I'll be hitting up the grocery-store tomorrow for sure!

I wholeheartedly agree with your list. The baked fish with dill sour cream became a fast favorite here, along with it's spin-off recipe, fish with feta-yogurt sauce. The grilled cabbage wedges opened up a whole new world of cabbage for me. And watch for later this week - I have something inspired by the African chicken stew coming up!

Thanks for joining the conversation! I love hearing from readers and even though I can't always reply to every comment, I will always answer specific questions on a recipe as soon as possible. Sometimes I'm answering by iPhone, so my replies may be short!

Comments don't appear on the blog until they're approved by me, so no need to try again if you don't see it when you post the comment! Please make your signature a link to your site if you're a blogger, but other links posted within the body of the comment will never be published.

Food Blogger Love!
